Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when João Nascimento took the kick off in the first half of the match. Vicente Macedo hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. The supporters of Almogade FC booed when Senra FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vicente Macedo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Almogade FC's Jorge Dantas couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 6th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Senra FC. In the 13th match minute, Senra FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Vicente Macedo to maneuver through the defense.

Armindo Macedo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fernando Cardoso, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute.

The wind increased when Amadeu Amaro made the kick off in the second half. Amadeu Amaro struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Armindo Macedo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Senra FC. If Amadeu Amaro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Fernando Cardoso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Senra FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Fernando Cardoso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
